(FB 1553523913 Timestamp) JOHN MARK ON TWO CHALLENGES Two challenges:
- Timing. In many secession-ripe states like Texas, by the time most whites/rightwingers wake up sufficiently to actually demand secession & make it happen, their states will be close to, or already, blue states due to immigration. (This boil the frog problem – whites buy the equality lie until reality hits them through experience at which point it’s too late to fix peacefully – plagues the West in general.) Presumably blue diverse people won’t want the state they live in to secede for the purpose of becoming full-on blood red in policy/law. We need to move fast if this is to work.
The elites don’t care what the people of America want. It is great to hear the stats about how much support secession has among Americans both right and left. (Again, however, presumably blue folks won’t want their state to secede to become more red. They might support half a state breaking away, but that’s more complicated to make happen though not necessarily impossible.) But the elite establishment stands to lose massive power & wealth if they let secession movements flourish & win. They will do everything in their power to stop it. Every dirty trick in the book, flood those states with diversity, possibly/likely attempt to use the military if necessary. (That could be complicated for them as we see from the stats about the military, but remember the elites would be desperate to stop it.) Cuz they know if one state does it others will follow & that will be the end of their gravy train. I’m not saying it’s impossible by any stretch, just that “what the people want” is not the only factor.
All that being said secession is a great option if we can make it happen.

(FB 1553529064 Timestamp) COMPETENCY VS INCOMPETENCY Left: Kakistocracy a state or society governed by its least suitable or competent citizens. Right: Aristocracy a state or society governed by its most competent citizens. Where “Competency” is demonstrated by success in war, commerce, and the persistence of an intergenerational family.

What draws me to p is that it’s not your traditional “-ism”, where other ideologies are all encompassing and have an answer for everything, prop appears to be a rigorously scientific method of tackling the issue and coming to a conclusion on your own. I wouldn’t even call it an ideology. It’s a method.” — Zach Matto (via Brandon Hayes)

(FB 1553712231 Timestamp) I would have a hard time choosing who to vote for. I wouldn’t trust either Tymoshenko or Poroshenko, but at this point it’s a safer bet to change to Tymoshenko, given how much of a failure Poroshenko’s been at rule of law. Tymoshenko with the Right might be able to do a better job on corruption. (And hell, when I heard her speak in Maidan it sure worked for me.) The Oprah Candidate (The Comedian): —“The 41-year-old, who is best known for playing the lead in the political comedy, Servant of the People, has about 25 percent of the voters’ support – well ahead of Poroshenko (almost 17 percent) and Tymoshenko (more than 18 percent). According to the non-governmental polling organisation Rating Group, the majority of Zelensky’s supporters are young people between 18 to 25 years old and live mostly in the Russian-speaking parts of Ukraine, the southern and eastern regions.”— Thea means the ukrainian vote is split, and the russian vote is not. That’s what it means. As far as I can tell.
